When cyberattacks on the U.S. government spiked during the federal shutdown, some agencies were targeted more than others. What about those that had adopted Security as a Service (SECaaS) solutions to supplement their in-house capabilities? In their case, they had reason to be thankful: Furloughs wouldn’t necessarily affect their ability to ward off threats.
The U.S. Navy, for example, uses Amazon Web Services tools such as GuardDuty and Security Hub for threat detection, anomaly identification and malware protection — and to meet the stipulations outlined in the Defense Department Cloud Computing Security Requirements Guide.
Similarly, at the Department of Veterans Affairs, the joint VA-DoD Identity Repository relies on AWS GovCloud for security monitoring and compliance, and the Departments of Energy, Justice and Homeland Security all leverage security services through Microsoft’s Azure Government.
The FedRAMP-authorized platforms allow agencies to modernize their security strategies while maintaining strict data-protection standards. They also make it easy to scale their security postures without major technology investments.
